Distance from ideal to reality

For doctors, time is life.

For patients, drugs are life.

In the face of various thorny diseases, the helpless doctor can only sigh. But a great father was not willing to sit still. He raced against time to take back his dear children from the god of death. As healers, we have to feel the depth of fatherly love.

Why the doctor does not have the strong perseverance of this father. Difficult research encountered several bottlenecks, but turned around several times, and finally succeeded.

I also do research at the doctoral stage, and I also understand that the distance from ideal to reality is actually farther than we see, especially in the field of clinical medicine. What we're missing isn't a hypothesis about how much of each year's NSFC grants end up actually creating value. Doing scientific research is not utilitarian, but it is easy to get lost in endless experiments. It's like driving in a maze with multiple forks, the more you turn, the more you can't tell the original direction, and finally you walk into a fruitless abyss. Using such a metaphor to describe the current domestic scientific research, I think it should not be too much.

Objectivity, a word that executives repeatedly emphasized to John. It is precisely because of objectivity that Dr. Robert, who proposed the great idea, will choose not his own green enzyme after comprehensive analysis. It is this that highlights the fundamental quality of a scientist—a quality that not every researcher possesses.

So, as Dr. Robert mentioned, Don't hope for a miracle, make one. Maybe one or some of us can shorten the distance from ideal to reality. Maybe I am one of them.

PS: I have to point out that one point in the film is neither a big nor a small mistake: patients who have had a tracheotomy cannot speak, so the Pompe children in the film communicate in the same way as ordinary people. The director and screenwriter are indeed imagination.

    The greatness of a father's love. In order to keep his two children alive, this father really gave everything, and there will be shakes and doubts in the process. This is more real. However, the plot is a bit bland.
